Elliott Smith, the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, recorded between late 1994 and early 1995 and released on July 21, 1995, through Kill Rock Stars, marking his first release on the label. The album continues the minimalist acoustic folk style of his debut, Roman Candle, with Smith performing primarily on acoustic guitar, occasionally accompanied by harmonica and drums.

Musically, Elliott Smith is characterized by its stripped-down sound, with intricate yet understated guitar work that complements his vulnerable vocal delivery. Rolling Stone praised the album's ability to blend catchy pop melodies with a slowed, introspective style, noting Smith’s knack for crafting vivid, emotionally complex lyrics that often explore themes of isolation and inner turmoil. Smith himself described the album as his darkest exploration of his personal struggles, setting the tone for his subsequent work.

2024 reissue pressed on an indie exclusive highlighter yellow vinyl, released via Kill Rock Stars.
